| I am SUCH a potato freak that I could possibly eat them with every meal and not even think about it, so when I found out I have Diabetes and they said no more potatoes, THAT part really bothered me. So I set out to experiment with them and each time I ate them in a different way, I'd test and I was told I could eat new potatoes as they have less, more immature starches in them. After a little while, I ran out of the new ones and was dying for a baked potato and ate it anyway just knowing my numbers would suffer for it. Surprisingly my numbers didn't go up at all and I didn't get it.
My sister in law is a registered Dietician and she told me why...... I love green veggies more than anything too and when I eat potatoes, I usually have Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts or something like that with them..... turns out, the green veggies were helping combat the potatoes by slowing down the digestive processes...... so I CAN eat potatoes in any way, shape or form, I just make sure I eat something green with them...... lol
Take away anything I eat and I won't complain, but my popcorn and my potatoes and we have serious issues. lol
